French sabre ''de fantaisie'' typical of colonial (Armee d'Afrique) officer sword patterns.

Since 1855 officer sword in colonial service were widely known for their non-regulation hilts and blades, this is a very rare example that was made by the obscure sword cutler M. Meyer St-Etienne.

The blade is stamped with poincons that closely look like controller 1st class J.A Bish (16/02/1844 to 31/01/1861) and controller 2nd class F.A. Bisch (16/02/1844 to 25/01/1861).

Great condition with patina on the iron hilt and scabbard but everything clean and firm. The double-fuller blade is clean and with no rust.

sword length: 36'' / 92cm
blade length: 31'' / 79cm
total length: 37'' / 94cm

Price is 315USD or best offer. Shipping varies by location, approx 30$ in North America, 100$ for overseas. Paypal accepted and E-transfers for Candian residents.
